[suggestion] Nato and Russian weapons mod

[Sami]

It would be really cool if you guys added this mod to the servers. Small arms are the one thing Arma 3 lacks.

Whilst I would love this, as well as various other weapon mods out there, in I&A, it probably won't happen.

 

But the ACRE server perhaps?

[Ducky]

Pubs it will not happens because of one simple reason server and clients need to have this mod enabled in order to play.

Would be good to test it out there. I think people would start downloading it after people started talking about it on the server.

[Ducky]

This weapon mod was suggested earlier and it did not pass because of many reasons.

 

First reason I posted before: Client MUST have it in order to play

Second reason: Security reasons

Third reason: Bugs/Client crashes

and so on...

 

It would be a good idea for ACRE server because it is private server and you need to have ACRE installed in order to play.

 

In addition, some people don't know how to install mods on a PC.

[Danny_S]

I agree this would be great on the ACRE server, people not knowing how to install mods wouldn't be a problem then because they would have already done it for ACRE. Only thing is we would have to go back to putting a password on the server.

[Cain]

Bah, it has the F-18 mod in it already, so anyone who doesn't have it can't join.

 

I'm all in favour of adding this mod though

[Ducky]

I'm not against adding mods to the ACRE server

[Cain]

Right so along with this mod I've installed various other weapon mods as well as an attachment mod.

 

All I can say is, WE NEED THESE IN ACRE ASAP OH MY GOD IT'S FANTASTIC

[Ducky]

CAIN come your Tits down >..>

[iLLGT3]

I think we should give this a go sometime soon!

[Ducky]

Thanks Jeff

[Cain]

I'm not even joking, the AKs sound heavenly with JSRS on. Not to mention the numerous LMGs of the various factions.

[laforte]

Downloaded the mod just to see how it is. I really like it, it should have been implemented yesterday

[Danny_S]

I haven't had chance to try it out yet but judging from what all of you are saying I think I definitely should!

[Ducky]

Jester 814 covered this mod

 

Weapons

 

Units

 

I tried this mod and I like it overall but textures does not look very good in first person :'(

[Dingo]

Textures are off because it's mostly a direct port of A2 weapons, will need A2 jsrs 1.5 mod too have nicererer sounds on these weapons too.

[Danny_S]

Just tried it myself, I can live with the textures to be honest, and the sounds, for the most part, are better than the vanilla ARMA 3 ones in my opinion Hope this does indeed get added to the ACRE server.

[Dingo]

Might aswell add the R3F French weapons pack http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=20128 and the FHQ Accessories http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=20393 mods to the list 

[David]

It's a possibility for the ACRE server, more mods means more potential issues though. I'd wait for a more involved A3 CS member though.

 

If we do integrate we need to create our own mod-pack (with all the mods we run in it) and have it constantly updated so there's a one stop shop as it were.

[Dingo]

Other then having the mods load with the mission file download at server join, i think that's possible but would involve a large dl (depending on number of mods loaded with the mission) before going to the lobby and not sure if that would create server stress / lag by joining players 

 

but once a stable set of mods is decided on and to save typing cramp when entering the parameter line you can create one folder for all your mods / addons

for example (ACRE not included)

I have 1 folder called @ahoy1 inside of which i have an addons foler in this are all the .pbo's & .bisign files for any addons & mods i run while on the server 

so my startup parameter line is short for example  -nobenchmark -mods=@cba_a3;@ahoy1;@acre etc etc 

so on ACRE it loads up JSRS, JSRS2, Weapons resting, STHud, F18, and a few others from the one file / parameter

[Danny_S]

The launcher Jester put in the ACRE TS channel's file browser called "Arma3Sync" is also really good for starting the game up with only certain mods enabled.
